DIEP - What do I Need for Hospital?
Hi Ladies,
Single mastectomy and DIEP recon happening for me on 29th of this month. I have had some advice from various people about what to take to hospital. Here is my list so far. What else do you think I might need (Don't worry about entertainment stuff- they are the first items I will pack!). Advice greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Good post surgery bras and knickers
Button up PJ's
Soft waist elasticated pants
Zip up tracky tops.
Headwear - beanies and cool cotton headscarves
Some basic make up to feel some sort of 'nice'
Personal fan
Constipation attack meds: movicol, actilax, coloxyl etc.
Everyday meds: Vit D, fish oil, iron etc
Extension chord to charge my phone.
